Guest guest Posted February 24, 1999 Report Share Posted February 24, 1999 Lynn-- Take one day at a time. Don't look ahead at the " what ifs " that might come. All the info. CAN be very overwhelming-- but try not to let it get to you. Remember, you and your family are not in this alone. As far as not being given more than you can handle, I've found myself thinking that a lot and even going so far as to think, " God must think I'm able to handle more than I think I am. " But in reality, I cannot handle any of it alone. He is always there with me, though at times I try to handle it alone and then it is really hard. Take care. My prayers are with you.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 1999 Report Share Posted February 24, 1999 Lynn, I know how you feel. My husband is also the one who has PSC and it's so hard to be so out of control of the situation (not that the PSC patient is in control) I find myself constantly asking Phil how he feels are you okay, are you tired, do you have chills, I'm sure he doesn't want to worry me (I do that enough on my own) and probably doesn't even want to think about it when he feels bad. At least our husbands know how they feel and we don't we just have to guess. Over the last couple of years we've had so many adversities I kept thinking about God not giving me more than I could handle and I kept saying I can't handle this but he does know more of what we can handle than we do.Phil's house was on the market for 2 years with not even one offer(we had to pay both house payments and ins. & stuff and Phil has been out of work twice within a year even before he got sick) the week he went into the hospital we had gotten a new realtor and a withina couple of days we had 3 offers. God said " Those guys have got more than they can handle and the house will close escrow next week. Keep praying and feel good that you've got a lot of others praying with you. And yes I agree all this information is overwhelming, scary and helpful at the same time. Hope you feel better soon. I'd like you to e-mail me if you feel like talking more from a spouse's perspective.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 1999 Report Share Posted February 25, 1999 Hi Lynn: How long has it been since Mike was diagnosed? It is hard to cope with. It's overwhelming and frightening. During most of the first year after Quantell's diagnosis, I would break down in tears for no apparant reason. (Did get a lot of seats on crowded buses that way.) Some days are still like that. But a lot of days aren't. Hang in there. This bad spell will pass. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 1999 Report Share Posted February 25, 1999 Pam.....Mike was diagnosed about 2 years ago. What I have discovered is that expressing myself to the group has caused emotions which have been placed on the back burner to surface. I really don't talk a great deal to my children. They know what his condition is etc...but I really don't talk to them about my emotions....rather how their dad's doing and other family things. Lynn P.S. I know this too shall pass Thanks Re: Reality check Hi Lynn: How long has it been since Mike was diagnosed? It is hard to cope with. It's overwhelming and frightening.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 This is an FYI. Out news channel in Minnesota did a Reality Check on the Barak Obama e-mail. It turned out that it was all a hoax so to speak orportions of it were taken out of context. I've been listening to all the ads and reading on the internet and take things with a grain of salt. It makes for some interesting conversations. To see the Reality Check interview, you can go to www.wcco.com/links. Click on Reality Check.
